Price reduced:   Was $2000,  Now  $1500

HELLER, Joseph. CATCH-22. New York: Simon & Schuster, 1961. First 
Edition. Author's uncommon and influential first book, basis for the 
popular film. This is a decent if not spectacular copy. The blue cloth 
is just a little faded but quite clean, the lettering still strong on 
the spine. A former owner's bookplate is on the front pastedown. Near 
Fine in a Very Good First Issue dustwrapper complete but for a 1/4" even 
chip at the head of the spine and two smaller chips at the base of the 
spine, one just touching the lettering in the publisher's name. There is 
a two-inch jagged closed tear near the bottom of the spine that just 
extends to the front panel but is barely visible under mylar. There is 
the soiling typically found on this dustwrapper along with mild sunning 
to the spine.. A very collectable copy. (#010524)        $1,500.00
